I'm pretty sure that I've read this book a long, long time ago, becahuse the short mysteries were very familiar. Regardless, theses shorts really showcase Sayers' mastery of the mystery genre. Brilliantly plotted and inventive with her signature wit these are the perfect introduction to two of her greatest characters. Lord Peter Whimsey and Montague Egg couldn't be more different yet the are both perfectly suited for amateur sleuthing. Lord Peter is the more well know, but Mony Egg is my favorite. How she ties in his job as a traveling salesman to his ability to sniff out clues is deliciously clever. I highly recommend this collection.
